I always complete, I have my FitBit linked to MFP and use it for comparison between calorie burn tracking and food intake.

During orgasm, which lasts for about 5-10 seconds for a man, and up to 2 minutes for a woman (sorry, guyz). Unless you are doing it Swayze against the wall in the old barn in Roadhouse-style, you really aren't doing that much cardio.

McDonald's - blech. Sorry, but it's true. I'd much rather fry up my own hash browns at home in butter and eat them. I mean, I'm fully supportive of people eating wherever they want and making it fit, but don't the home fried hash browns taste so much better?

You are correct. Because you lose water weight when you first start losing weight, you lose weight very quickly. After a time, you will balance out to losing 1-2 pounds per week, if you are following the appropriate calorie deficit.

this. It's not a good idea to have people show logs with total calorie counts less than 1,000. Other people don't know it's because you're sick.

easy enough to say, but if your macros are out of balance, it makes a difference. Calorie goals are what matter for weight loss and maintenance, and macro balances and nutrients are what matter for your health.

Honestly, that's a lot of food for one meal. Two options. You save up calories over a week, and you eat 1/2 of everything you order. Or you just eat the meal and have a day where you know you went way over and move on.

Well, that's probably not true. While you might think that you're just 'above it all', you really aren't. It might not be in the same context as everyone else (as in, relative to your physical attributes), but there are certainly aspects of yourself and your life that are reflected off of others' points of view. It might…

How about, "boy, I'm really enjoying eating oatmeal right now! I eat it twice a day. Eventually I'll probably get sick of it, but for now it's a lot of fun to find all the different ways I can enjoy it." And add some more vegetables and protein in while you are enjoying it.

We aren't just stand alone figures in the world. We reflect off of each other. It's hard to admit it, but we all do care what people think about us in some context, whether it is the world at large or just a significant other. And an offhand comment from a stranger can be hurtful.

Absolutely doesn't matter what a person does at the gym. Weight loss is accomplished by eating at a deficit, whether one is exercising or not.

It comes across as a bit - odd -when you are going on about being hungry after the dinner you helped to cook, and how you have to eat the same thing that is selected by the family. Because you and your mother shop together, and you have no input on what is bought? I'm sorry, that makes no sense. Even when one person is…

This, exactly. While you might be feeling hungry, at least you had something to eat. Imagine all the hungry and homeless tonight who have nothing to eat. Sometimes it can help to look at the big picture when you are thinking of small things that are upsetting you.

How did jelly doughnuts end up being a traditional Jewish food?

Still, that is 1 gram of carbs... not the zero grams of carbs that was being discussed as not providing any calcium.

Not on a zero carb diet.

That's an excuse. Don't lay that off on other people. No matter what size anyone is, we all love food and have to make choices about what to eat and not to eat to fit into our calorie goals. And no one is saying you have to saying no to anything, you have just have to make choices that make that 'something special' fit…

lots? that's not a very scientific number. Do you have any studies showing how many people there are who actually follow a zero carb diet? As often as I hear this, I've yet to see proof of anyone actually doing it.

Actually the qualification was changed a few years ago, so that the reconstruction after mastectomy is considered part of the coverage. There was some litigation I believe, but it was proven that the emotional scarring the women suffered after going through not only facing cancer, but also suffering the loss of one or both…

Yeah - it was much worse for me when I used to work at a bigger hospital, and either we'd have a sales rep bring us food, a local business bring us food, or one of the people on our staff bring in food. GOOD GOD IN HEAVEN.

This is why I always stick to my calorie goal (with the exception of the actual day of the holiday). If I allowed myself to have whatever I wanted throughout the whole season - whoa. Go BIG.

I am, thank you @Nikkei74 . I have a great family and friend circle. :smile:

You've done a wonderful job, losing so much weight and coming so far. But you're so close to getting all the way there! Don't stop now. Just give it more time, stick with the work. Once you get to goal weight, you'll need to maintain, because if you do have the surgery to repair your skin, you don't want to gain weight and…

Since I've been in maintenance, banking calories to eat something that would normally put me over for the week is something pretty common.

This is not an issue. Stick to calorie goal for the days that are not Thanksgiving and Christmas. On those two days, eat whatever you want, and enjoy the special fun of the day. If you are someone who is eating in a deficit and find it to be a real struggle, move to maintenance level calories. You won't lose weigh during…

I also love carbs but I am hungrier if my macro balance is off. 40% carbs is about right for me. I need to get plenty of protein and fats, as well. At one point I was not getting enough fat and found that my appetite was affected by that, as well.

Thank you, @tomatoey .

the problem with intuitive eating is that it is not conscious eating. And it will succumb to instinctive eating, which tells you to consume more calories in the fall as the temperature drops, and add fat to insulate your body through the winter.

no veg no fruit, no milk?

By calling names? I don't respond to name calling by 'lightening up'.
